I have seen cramfs and squashfs both of which have sub 2GB filesize limit problems and read/write random access issues. So they don't fit my needs. Please don't respond saying "just gzip each file" duh... I already thought of that.
Hi,
Squashfs has a 4 GB filesize limit, and the compressed filesystem can be 4GB in size. This limitation is due to using 32 bit indexes. I have been intending to release a version that removes these limits (maybe Squashfs 3.0)...
I'm curious that you state Squashfs has read/write random access issues. Squashfs is a read-only filesystem and so, obviously, you cannot write to the created files. Squashfs is, however, a very fast filesystem for read random access. I'll be interested in knowing if you've had any problems in this regard.
